We've lived on the same road for over 36-years. We built our new house just across the street (and 1/4-mile back off the road) from the house in which we raised our kids—and still own. Everyone thinks lumber prices are at their peak when they start a construction project, but they seldom go down. Nearly three-years ago our 2x4s came from Austria and our 2x6s from Sweden. Nicest looking lumber I've seen in years!
An honest general contractor was the most important part of our project. We built the house for a bit over half of the first estimates we were getting from prominent homebuilders in the area.
